For women (1–10)
A happy promise.riria.
Riria is a female singer-songwriter of straightforward J-pop who enjoys overwhelming support from teenage and twenty-something women.
She has many great songs, but the one I especially recommend is “Shiawase na Yakusoku” (“A Happy Promise”).
Because it uses a lot of falsetto, it might seem difficult.
It’s true the falsetto appears quite frequently, but in this song the falsetto only reaches pitches that can also be sung in chest voice.
The overall vocal line doesn’t fluctuate much, making it perfect for aiming for a high score.
Changeatarashii gakkou no rīdāzu
With their edgy musicality and performance, the idol group ATARASHII GAKKO! has earned high acclaim not only in Japan but also overseas.
Known for their distinctive blend of hip-hop and kayōkyoku, that signature sound is alive and well in this work too.
In particular, this piece has a narrow vocal range, and there are no high notes in either the rap or the singing parts.
Instead, elements like rap flow are essential, making it recommended for those with a good sense of groove.
Give it a try!
ALL I WANTHirate Yurina
Yurina Hirate’s new song “ALL I WANT.” Back in her Keyakizaka46 days, she had a notably cool image for an idol, and that impression has only been sharpened since she became a solo artist.
This work lets you savor that very charm.
It’s a stylish J-pop track with a touch of R&B, and overall it features a relatively even, understated vocal line.
There aren’t many long sustained notes, so even those who aren’t confident in their vocal skills should be able to aim for a high score.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
God knows…suzumiya haruhi (hirano aya)
“God knows…,” the in-story song from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, is famous for the cultural festival live performance.
It gets the crowd going from the very first note, and it’s an anime song that looks cool if you can sing it! The structure is easy to follow, so focus on expressiveness.
First, for the A verse, it’s best to sing quietly and calmly, with clear vowel articulation.
For the B verse, you’re heading toward the chorus, so sing without forcing your voice.
When the melody changes, lift your eyebrows to get ready.
Ride that momentum into the chorus, but be careful not to shout.
Aim to “project into the distance” rather than “yell.” In the last chorus, the key changes and the pitch goes up, so keep the same mindset—“send your voice even farther”! If you just watch the pitch bar honestly, you should be able to aim for a high score!
May it be filled with kindnessJUJU
Released in February 2009 as JUJU’s ninth single.
It’s a rock ballad with a beautiful, very memorable melody that’s easy to pick up, so if you’re reasonably confident in your singing, it’s a song where you can definitely aim for a high score.
In the intro A-melody, there’s a line that uses a lot of chromatic (semitone) movement, so be careful not to let the pitch get vague there.
Also, if you sing with a clear contrast in dynamics between the chorus and the other sections, it will sound even better.
However, even in the stronger parts, make sure it doesn’t turn into singing “by brute force.” Skillfully using a stronger mixed voice seems to be the key to making it sound good.
rainbow-coloredayaka
It’s Ayaka’s 13th single, released first digitally in April 2014 and then on CD in June of the same year.
When you think of Ayaka, you probably think of a powerhouse vocalist, so many people might hesitate to sing her songs at karaoke.
But Nijiiro has a very friendly, easy-to-remember melody, so if you don’t focus too much on imitating her vocal style, I think it’s not that hard to score high.
Try singing it while keeping the song’s light, brisk feel and being careful not to make it too heavy.
For women (ages 11–20)
If I could become a constellationkessoku bando
Kessoku Band’s most famous song, “If We Could Become a Constellation.” The melody isn’t difficult and the rhythm is calm, so many of my vocal training students chose to sing it.
Actually, JOYSOUND staff are doing something called the “95-Point Challenge” with this song, so with practice you might be able to boost your score quite a bit! The overall vocal range is G3–C#5.
The chorus hits C5 repeatedly, so some people might feel it’s “high,” but the melody has momentum, so if you focus on accents, you’ll be fine! First, listen carefully to identify which parts are the high notes.
Take the spots where you think, “Maybe here?” and turn them into accents by riding the rhythm with some drive.
The key point is to project your voice forward! Start with sectional practice so you can produce sound comfortably, and do your best!
